菱鏡微塵 · Fine Dust on the Linghua Mirror

A love-and-separation 古風 song set in a late-autumn chamber before dawn. Erhu carries the main line, with guqin, sparse pipa and distant xiao around a dust-veiled bronze linghua mirror.

Lyrics

[引子] 菱花覆微塵寒燈照舊痕簾外梧桐雨聲聲到曉門

[主歌一] 昔照雙蛾黛今看一面春玉匣藏紅帕香銷不見人

[副歌] 君在關山外妾守鏡中雲一寸秋波冷千回不語聞

[主歌二] 雁字過南浦青鸞隔暮雲半奩留舊月長照別時裙

[橋段] 欲拂還成淚將開又掩門若逢歸馬影先問鏡邊塵

[副歌] 君在關山外妾守鏡中雲一寸秋波冷千回不語聞

[尾聲] 燈盡香猶在菱花不照人
